I graduated from the Contemplative Psychotherapy department at Naropa University after an undergraduate education at the University of Washington. I have five-years experience in the mental health field.

I specialize in life transitions and loss/grief. Related fields in which I also have experience are trauma recovery, sexual abuse/trauma, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.

My use of mindfulness and acceptance-based techniques encourages a compassionate exploration of your experience, and a collaborative relationship towards balance and well-being. Additionally, my training in neuropsychology will inform our work towards integrating the many levels of mind, body and spirit.

To learn more about me (photos, location, orientation,etc.), I invite you to visit my website at www.balancedtransitions. com.

I work with adult professionals who are not getting what they want from life and empower them with agency and choice to live a life centered around what's important to them by helping them understand themselves and love themselves.

You connect to whatever is not working in your life that creates a block and transform that pain back to power so you can create your best career, relationship and life. You work all three, mind, energy and body systems as one integrative empowered change modality.

Are you afraid of being abandoned? Do you try to avoid being alone? Do you have unstable and intense relationships? Are you often confused about who you are as a person? Do you often feel bored, empty, or in deep emotional pain? Do your emotions and moods change frequently? Don’t hesitate to call for help. I have over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist and specialize in personality issues. I will work with you to tailor a therapy style that is comprehensive and sensitive to your needs. Throughout my professional practice I have worked successfully with people who have experienced problems such as depression, anxiety, fears, emotional pain, posttraumatic and personality disorders, relationships difficulties and low self-esteem. I will help you gain self-confidence, become more successful in your life, and experience more satisfying relationships. I work with individuals of all ages, race, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.

I will work with you to understand the meanings and motives of your behavior, and to strengthen your capacity to endure frustration, anger and loneliness without acting impulsively upon those feelings.
